The RMS current through the inductor is approximated by the equation:

Output Capacitor Selection (C10 through C16)
The selection of the output capacitor is typically driven by the output transient response requirement. Equation 10
and Equation 11 over-estimate the voltage deviation to account for delays in the loop bandwidth and can be used
to determine the required output capacitance:
(10)
(11)
When V
IN(min)
> 2 x V
OUT1
, use the overshoot equation, V
OVER1
, to calculate minimum output capacitance. When
V
IN(min)
< 2 x V
OUT1
use Equation 11, V
UNDER1
, to calculate minimum output capacitance. In this design example,
V
IN(min)
is much larger than 2 x V
OUT1
so Equation 12 is used to determine the required minimum output
capacitance.
(12)
With a minimum capacitance, the maximum allowable ESR is determined by the maximum ripple voltage and is
approximated by Equation 13.

Two 220-µF, 4-V, aluminum electrolytic capacitors were chosen for load response requirements. Additionally two
0805 10-µF, X7R, along with two 0603, 3.3-µF X5R, and one 1-µF, X5R ceramic capacitors are selected for low
ESR and high frequency decoupling.
Peak Current Rating of Inductor
With the output capacitance known, it is possible to calculate the charge current during start-up and determine
the minimum saturation current rating for the inductor. The start-up charging current is approximated using
Equation 14.
